I'm pissed that Rev. Wright wasn't asked to give the invocation (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4675675)
   
Rev. Wright would have been the logical choice. He is Obama's long time pastor and has been very influential in the lives of the Obama family.

If you were being inaugurated, wouldn't you invite your long time pastor to have some part in the ceremony?

Now, Wright's said some controversial things, but Obama says that doesn't matter (at least in the case of Rick Warren) because we need to be able to "agree to disagree." We don't have to agree on all issues.

Obviously, Wright would piss off some people, but, hey, they're just a bunch of whiners and hysterics. We don't have to pay any attention to them.

I'm dead serious, here. Rev. Wright was the absolute logical choice -- as long as we're able to ignore certain things he says, as they want us to do with Warren. Why did Obama stiff his long-time pastor and mentor?

Hint: It was a political calculation. He's willing to piss off the gays, women, and anyone else who is offended by Warren, but he wasn't willing to piss off people who object to Wright.

At the end of the day, Obama showed no loyalty to Wright and put politics first -- and we would all do well to learn from that.

Jeremiah Wright would have been the HONEST choice, and we all know the last thing Obama is is honest.

I would have loved it if the One had chosen the irreverent reverend Wrong to speak. It would have shown everyone what the MSM refused to show this election.

That's what I was thinking.  I would have loved to hear Rev. Wright's thoughts at the inauguration.

Oh HELL yeah, that would've been suh-weeeet!!!   :rotf:

But, of course, that would have required "Honesty" and "Personal loyalty"......
